I'll be posting a bunch of pictures in here. this is really pretty cool. Maybe a new class for our Club.
they are 1/43 scale, and they have a integrated "Core" tag (I hope the will operate with the existing core system).
a few highlights are:
The dNaNo is an all new car from Kyosho that is unlike anything else in RC.
>> 1/43-scale so it can easily fit in the palm of your hand.
>> Operated by a 2.4GHz radio system so there are no crystals to fuss with.
>> Each car has a built-in lap counter and each car has its own unique ID number. After a race, you will be able to review your results for the race and also bring up information on the entire life of your car.
>> Powered by a LiPo battery pack, which Kyosho told me is very safe and will not burn.
>> Optional light set will be available.
>> Ports on the chassis allow you to plug in an optional traction control unit to make the car easier to control when cornering at speed.
>> The car can be plugged into a computer so driving profiles can be customized.
>> Each car comes completely assembled and includes a chassis for display purposes that has the true to scale wheels and tires mounted on it.
>> A starter set will include the 2.4GHz transmitter, LiPo battery pack and charger. (These items are not included with the car)
>> Transmitter only requires 4AAA batteries.
>> 8 different bodies will be available, with new ones coming out each month there after.
>> The bodies look absolutely amazing with exacting detail?to the point where I can see diecast fans buying the car just for display
